Summary

The bill lets a parent, legal guardian, or custodian sign an affidavit that grants a designated adult caregiver specific parental rights for a minor’s schooling and medical care. The parent keeps ultimate authority, can amend or revoke the affidavit, and the caregiver is shielded from liability when acting within its limits. This creates a flexible option for families needing alternative care arrangements.
